For you transition era scratchbuilders and/or if you just like car and loco drawings and specs then here’s something for you to look at.
Google books scanned in a 1951 book (300 pages I believe).

It’s called ‘Popular picture and plan book of railroad cars and locomotives’
From the people who brought you the Car builders and Loco cyclopedia’s

I stumbled into this once while searching for material…it can be saved to your computer and will forever be yours.

Enjoy!

Jon,
Pondering several pictures myself. Wondering if the first pic on that PDF file isn’t a shot of the trestle I really like and want to model?
